THE SOUTH TO THE SECOND PlACH-LAMAR AND
cARLELH-NoRTHERN DEMOCRATS SPOKEN OF.
There Is no mistak1ng the current OF democratic
sentiment with regard to the next Presidential
canvass. It has unQuesttonably settled upon
President Cleveland as the candidate to head the
national democratic ticket next year. Leading
democrats, who even during the last session Of
Congress either opposed q denomination Of the
President or doubted the advisabinty of It, are
now openly espousing his cause. For some time
now the whole drift OF democratic opinion has
been toward the President, and unless something
entirely unlocked for, like his death or absolute
refusal to run, shall intervene It is admitted on
all hands that he viii be renominated by acclama-
tton.
THE SECOND PLACE.
AS the head Of the ticket seems to be settled,
democrats are turning their attention to the Ques-
ton Of selecting candidate for the second place
For this position many gentlemen of national
prominence are mentioned. There is strong and
apparently agrowing sentiment within the party
In favor OF placing Southern man on the ticket
with MI Cleveland. This policy seems to have
OF the arguments used In behalf OF such ticket is
that 1nasmuch as the democratic party insists
and should be buried out oil sight that party should
demonstrate its sincerity In its professions by
making national" ticket-one representing both
sections; that III the democratic party Is sincere in
protesting against SectionaliSm it could not more
Iorcloly demonstrate its Sincerity than 6y putting
man from the "hitherto OStraciSed section" on
the national ticket
LAMAR AND CARLISLE.
Among the Southern democrats most promi-
nently mentioned for the Vice-PreSidency are
secretary Lamar and Speaker Carlisle; each one
mas strong friends and adherents. 1t is claimed
Dy some That as MIR. Carlisle was a Union man
durlng Tue war his nomination would not so en-
phatlcally signalize the restoration or the South
10 the equal enjoyment OF political rights as the
Seiect!on OF Gr- Lamar. but there Is not much
PROBABILITY OF any rivalry between the two on
th1s issue, as MIR. CarliSles friends very posi-

tlal nomination. unless compelled to do so at the
urgent command or his party.
NORTHERN DEMOCRATS TALKED OF.
Or leading Northern democrats suggested for
the Vice-Presidency First Assistant Postmaster
General Stevenson, OF Iilinois seems to hold first
place in democratic affections. His administra-
popular with democrats. senator voorhees,
mukeS no secret OF his Indifference toward
the Vice-Presidential chair, but Ii Is among the
strong political probabilities that he may be
forced to take the nomination. Indiana democrats
express confidence IN their ability TO carry the
State with voorhees, up and possibly the tactics
OF 1854, when Hendricks was pu, on the ticket TO
carry the state, may be repeated in 1883, with
Eoorhees Tor second place. Postmaster General

tion would make Wisconsin democratic. Ohio
seems TO be unusually backward in this contest
Tor the Vice-Pr2sidelcy. Now and hen feeble
voice can be heard in favor OF Ex-Governor HOad-
ey, but his pooIn is very Giminutlve as yet.
